The invention discloses an integrated digital PCR instrument and a control method therefor. The integrated digital PCR instrument comprises a
chip loading module (200); a droplet generation module (300), which can generate droplets (4) from a sample in a sample adding chamber (12) during the droplet
generation process, and then the droplets being transferred and stored in a
reaction chamber (11); a temperature cycle module (400), which enables the droplets (4) in the
reaction chamber (11) to achieve amplification; a
fluorescence detection module (500), which can transfer the droplets (4) in the
reaction chamber (11) to a
fluorescence detection area (33) during a process of detecting the droplets (4), then transfers the droplets to the sample adding chamber (12), and completes
fluorescence detection of the droplets (4) during said process; a
chip disposal module (600); and a scheduling mechanism (700), which is used for transferring an integrated droplet
chip (100) among the chip loading module (200), the droplet generation module (300), the temperature cycle module (400), the fluorescence detection module (500) and the chip disposal module (600) under the control of a main control module (800), and can turn up and down by 180° the integrated droplet chip (100) in the temperature cycle module (400) and then transfers the integrated droplet chip into the fluorescence detection module (500). The degrees of
automation and integration of the PCR instrument are high, which can improve detection and analysis operation efficiency and reduce labor costs.
